Anne of the Island Chapter 3 - Greeting and Farewell

In which Anne Shirley bids a tearful and wistful farewell to her beloved Green Gables and the familiar faces of Avonlea before setting off for the wider world, her spirits lifted only when the rain clears and the sun lights her voyage. She arrives at Kingsport, where the kind chatter of an old friend and the quaint charm of her new surroundings offer a gentle balm to her homesick heart, as she faces the quiet hours alone with a resolve to delay her sorrow.
